+ Grampian Youth Orchestra

Founded 2006: ‘The orchestra brings together talented musicians from the Grampian region of Scotland (including Aberdeenshire and Moray), offering instrumentalists of school and university age the opportunities to work with leading conductors and to perform with international and local musicians ... Every year the orchestra gets together for a rehearsal day before embarking on a weekend course later that year, which ends with a concert ... Players of all orchestral instruments are invited to apply to audition for membership of GYO. Players from anywhere in the North East of Scotland (born or studying in) between the ages of 12 and 22 ... are eligible. Players should be at ABRSM Grade 7/8 level but players working towards this level are encouraged to apply’.
